if i bake my bridge at about 100 degrees fehrenheit, how long should i do it??? i thought i could bake an hour but i'm not sure
however, every ten min., i'm gonna take it out of the oven and weigh it. and of course, i'll be watching it while it is in the oven.
I know i should stop when it starts to warp, but i don't know how long it'll stand in the oven before warping at 100degrees fehrenheit

I don't see how this is going do anything other than possibly weakening and warping the bridge. Any weight lost will be gained within 12 hours or less as the wood reabsorbs the moisture due to the relative humidity. You don't want to test the bridge when it is dry as it will break easier.

You should only bake your bridge for 30 minutes at max. 200 degrees.
So far, my best bridge efficiency is 909. A 1000 is actually pretty easy to achieve, if you can think more strategically.

well my state is this saturday.... and my max. efficiency is 1000

If you have a bridge that weighs 15 grams and holds all the weight(15 kilos Div c) what would the efficeincy be?

What is the equation?
I got 2,000

You do Amount held divided by mass of bridge. So:
15000/15=1,000

it's not 2000
efficiency= weight held (g) / weight of bridge (g)
15000/15=1000
